Custom IT solutions tailored to your idea.

Software Craft - Attention still in creation!

Individual Software for prototypes and special purpose machinery

I offer programming services focused on Desktop Applications, Embedded Systems (µC/µP control units), and Android Apps.

My offer covers the entire development cycle: requirements management, concept, design, integration, and testing. Many years of professional experience in embedded development form the technical foundation.

How can I help?

My offer includes custom programming services for PC (Desktop) and embedded devices such as control units and mobile phones (Android), as well as IT services such as web hosting and file sharing.

Specialized in hardware-related software

Your partner for tailor-made development. I realize your software projects for µC, desktop, and Android.

Hourly rate: €130/h

Efficient through AI. Secure through expertise.

I use AI support to noticeably accelerate the implementation of your projects.

Your advantage: As a senior developer, I have a deep understanding of every generated code snippet. As a certified CPRE, I guide you with absolute confidence – from the requirement to the final test.

Software development

Do you have a specific idea for a new functionality or machine and are looking for an experienced software developer to guide you through the implementation?

I support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) without their own IT department, as well as tech companies that need to bridge temporary capacity bottlenecks or prefer not to commit resources over the long term.

Pragmatic, goal-oriented, and flexible: I bring your project to a successful conclusion.

APP-Development

Do you have a vision for an app? I support you from the initial idea to successful implementation.

My focus is on developing custom, efficient apps for your business – such as internal information systems, tools for process optimization, or product-accompanying applications.

Quality, intuitive usability, and flawless functionality are my top priorities.

Custom Android Apps for SMEs

I develop tailor-made, lean app solutions for medium-sized enterprises.

Ideal for internal tools: For example, internal information apps (such as the occupancy display of your company restaurant) or process assistants.

From analysis to the App Store

I provide full-service support: from the initial requirements analysis to the successful deployment in the Google Play Store.

Full cost security: After clarifying the project details, we will agree on a fair flat rate for the development as well as – upon request – for subsequent maintenance and updates.

Uncomplicated Web Hosting & File Sharing

Leverage the performance of my European server solution for your business – secure, GDPR-compliant, and tailor-made.

Custom Websites: I create your tailor-made web presence.
For DIYers: Want maximum control? I will provide you with a turnkey, dedicated WordPress instance (the foundation of over 40% of all websites worldwide). Initial setup: €140 one-time flat fee for the instance, followed by €5 monthly for web hosting.

Migration & Redesign (Pricing)

Easy Transition & Transparent Flat Rates

Moving or rebuilding your website doesn't have to be expensive. I offer fixed flat rates:

Website Migration: Professional relocation of your existing WordPress or HTML/CSS code website to my server: one-time flat fee of €140
Website Rebuild / Recreation: Rebuild (e.g., from Jimdo/Ionos) or recreation via WordPress: €500 Business Card Package (1-4 pages incl. legal imprint) for an initial version; any requested changes will be invoiced individually.

Hosting Plan & Breakeven Comparison

Benefit from genuine best-effort hosting for just €5 / month (guaranteed for 3 years, plus index adjustment). Here is a calculation example for your switch:

Item	Typical Website Builder Provider	My Hosting Offer
Monthly fee	12,00-15,00€ for small websites often including domain	5,00€(+ ~1€ external domain)
Onetime setup	0,00€	140,00€
Cost after 20 months	min. 240€	240,00 € (Breakeven-Point!)
Cost after 3 years	min. 432,00€	356,00€ (you save min. 76€!)

Secure File Sharing & Fairness Guarantee

Flexible Cloud Storage: Expand your setup as needed with secure, GDPR-compliant file sharing for just €1 per GB / month.

Transparency is important to me:

I can offer these unbeatable conditions because I share the free resources of my existing server. Since web hosting is not my main business, I do not offer 24/7 support or guaranteed uptimes . However, I do guarantee you personal support on a best-effort basis – with no anonymous call centers.

Portrait

As a graduate mechatronics engineer (MSc) and experienced software engineer, I have been combining precise algorithms with industrial hardware for over 15 years. My career path has taken me from maintaining international production lines to embedded software development at Bosch AG, and ultimately to leading technical teams.

Today, I specialize in software development for prototypes and special-purpose machinery, where I implement complex control and calculation logic (C/C++, Codesys, Matlab). My portfolio ranges from camera-based document identification to Android apps. In parallel, I also offer website creation and web hosting. As a certified Requirements Engineer (CPRE), I professionally guide my clients from the initial requirements analysis right through to series production. I stand for a pragmatic, goal-oriented way of working and technical solutions that meet the highest quality standards ((A)-SPICE).

Design of solutions

Individual solutions for every requirement: From complex control, regulation, and calculation logic to custom-tailored Android apps and secure web hosting for your projects.

Reliable Implementation

Whether prototype or series production: I develop software that meets the highest quality standards. Thanks to deep expertise across the entire software lifecycle, I can provide pinpoint support in individual project phases or deliver your turnkey, end-to-end solution.
